AP - Though NBC is blanketing seven networks with 1,210 hours of Olympics coverage, there's this pesky, bill-paying task called work that keeps me from fully enjoying the televised competition.

After saturation coverage of Olympics,
why no Paralympics TV coverage in US?


After saturation coverage of Olympics,
why no Paralympics TV coverage in US?
09/07/2004 11:47 PM
Xeni Jardin: BBC Journalist and blogger Stuart Hughes says:
The Olympics were a huge success for NBC.200 million viewers. A "halo effect" that boosted other channels and programmes. An estimated $60-70 million profit (Source: Hollywood Reporter) Before the Games started, NBC boast ed of the depth and breadth of its coverage.1210 hours of events.103 commentators. 28 Olympians on the commentary team. A week from now, I'll be heading back to Athens for Greece's second remarkable major sporting event of the year. The Paraly mpics will boast:4000 athletes. 140 countries represented.525 gold medals at stake. 19 sports. There will be no American TV coverage of the Paralympics. Let me repeat that. There will be NO AMERICAN TV COVERAGE OF THE PARALYMPICS. Not one hour of live coverage. Not one commentator. Not one Olympian on the commentary team. Nothing. This at the same time that a record number of journalists are preparing to cover the Paralympics.

01/05/2005 01:16 AM
As has been the tradition since MacMerc was launched, we will be hosting live Macworld keynote coverage that pushes the envelope by bringing you in on the action. We will have 3 reporters at the keynote address and simultaneously connected and posting to the MacMerc IRC chat--that's IRC, not iChat. Our men in the field this expo include our own Jon Gales, "DigitalBill" Douthett of the Wizards of Technology and, on color commentary, tech broadcasting king Leo Laporte. To take full advantage of this coverage, download an IRC client (we are recommending Conversation) and log on to irc.slashnet.org and join the channel #mercworld (a moderated channel where you can watch the announcements from our reporters) and #macmerc (an unmoderated channel where you can discuss the announcements with the other Mac fans. Any questions? Our coverage of the Expo won't end when the keynote is over. No, we have many other surprises in store for you. So get yourself set up to chat, and keep an eye on MacMerc.com for all the MacWorld Expo excitement.
